What's everyones favourite stones cover? I would say mine has to be Sticky Fingers - one of the all time best covers -however Some Girls and Exile are also very cool.

Their album art is divided between really incredible (like the ones you mentioned - with artists of the calibre of Andy Warhol and Robert Frank involved - or lousy, like Steel Wheels.

I think my own personal favorite is Between The Buttons. They just look SO wasted - effete and dangerous simultaneously, like a Clockwork Orange gang out for a bit of the old ultra-violence after a visit to the Moloko bar.
When I was a kid I used to just stare at that picture (it was actually the picture sleeve of Ruby Tuesday/LSTNT, but same picture).

Another fave is No Stone Unturned, for the same reasons.

most of the recent ones have been pretty unininspiring

I like the mug shot ones....Black & Blue I always liked, especially Charlie's expression - he looks like a really nasty piece of work in that one!

I still think the whole "Some Girls" sleeve concept is hard to beat (the band profiles inside are a riot too..)

Also love "get yer ya-ya's out" - not least because,as a Dylan fan, the sleeve has a lyrical nod to a line from my favourite Dylan song ever, "Visions Of johanna" (ie "jewels and bincoulars hang from the head of the mule"..)

Maybe people don't care as much about cover art as they did when vinyl was still around. Bigger is better ... maybe???
I was rummaging around my old man's cluttered garage a month or so back and ran into my old IORR vinyl cover, ..no record inside. Anyway I left it there. Maybe I should've grabbed it???????!!???
